Page "Susan McClary" Paragraph 31

* Musicologist Paula Higgins, in another robust critique of McClary's work, has observed that “ one wonders … if has not strategically co-opted feminism as an excuse for guerrilla attacks on the field .” Higgins complains of McClary's “ truculent verbal assaults on musicological straw men ”, and observes that “ For all the hip culture critique imported from other fields, McClary has left the cobwebs of patriarchal musicological thought largely intact .” ” Higgins is also critical of McClary's citation practice as it concerns other scholars in the area of feminist musical criticism.
